Victoria Reyes-García (PhD in Anthropology, 2001, U. of Florida) is ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (UAB). She lived among the Tsimane’, a hunter-gatherer society in the Amazon, from 1999 until 2004. She has experience in multidisciplinary research, working with anthropologists, agronomists, biologists, economists, archaeologists, and computer scientists. Since April 2006 she coordinates the Ethnoecology Laboratory, which catalyses research on the dynamic relations among people and environments.

In 2010 she received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council to study the adaptive nature of local ecological knowledge using a cross-cultural comparative approach. Victoria’s research encompasses the interdisciplinary study of dynamic relations among peoples, biota, and environments.
